Description
1. Primary Function:*
– Boosts engine power by compressing air entering the combustion chamber, allowing more efficient fuel burning (a process called **downsizing with performance enhancement).
– Improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions (e.g., nitrogen oxides, NOx).
2. Key Components:*
*Turbine Wheel:
Powered by exhaust gases, driving the connected shaft. *Compressor Wheel:
Draws in and pressurizes fresh air before sending it to the engine.
*Cooling System (Oil/Coolant Channels):
Prevents overheating using engine oil or coolant.
*Wastegate Valve:
Regulates turbo pressure to prevent overboost damage.
